LibriTTS-R ist eine verbesserte Version des Audiokorpus von LibriTTS; die zugehörige Forschungsarbeit lautet LibriTTS-R: A Restored Multi-Speaker Text-to-Speech Corpus, mit dem Ziel, der Sprachforschung hochwertigere englische Sprachdaten zur Verfügung zu stellen.

Der Datensatz umfasst etwa 585 Stunden mehrsprachiger englischer Lesesprache bei einer Abtastrate von 24 kHz und ist in sieben Datenpartitionen aufgeteilt.

                   ``LibriTTS-R'' designed for text-to-speech (TTS) use. It is
                   derived by applying speech restoration to the LibriTTS
                   corpus, which consists of 585 hours of speech data at 24 kHz
                   sampling rate from 2,456 speakers and the corresponding
                   texts. The constituent samples of LibriTTS-R are identical
                   to those of LibriTTS, with only the sound quality improved.
                   Experimental results show that the LibriTTS-R ground-truth
                   samples showed significantly improved sound quality compared
                   to those in LibriTTS. In addition, neural end-to-end TTS
                   trained with LibriTTS-R achieved speech naturalness on par
                   with that of the ground-truth samples. The corpus is freely
                   available for download from
